    <p>I am trying to output my PHP code to a downloadable CSV file and so far i am able to do this however at the moment, the output does not place the field data into separate columns. Instead it puts everything into one column and in addition to that, it displays the postcodes in its neighbouring columns. Does anyone know why this is?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php header("Content-type: text/csv"); header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache"); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.csv"'); $outstream = fopen("php://output",'w'); if ($db_found) { // Select all fields from bodyshops_master_network table $SQL = "SELECT * FROM bodyshops_master_network"; $result = mysql_query($SQL); while ( $db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) { // Splits the arrays $row = explode(",", $db_field['postcodes_covered']); $dealer_code = $db_field['dealer_code']; $dealer_name = $db_field['dealer_name']; $bodyshop_id = $db_field['bodyshop_id']; $bodyshop_name = $db_field['bodyshop_name']; $address1 = $db_field['address1']; $address2 = $db_field['address2']; $address3 = $db_field['address3']; $address4= $db_field['address4']; $address5 = $db_field['address5']; $postcode = $db_field['postcode']; $bo_tel = $db_field['BO_tel']; $bo_email = $db_field['BO_email']; $bc_name = $db_field['BC_name']; $equity_contract = $db_field['equity_contract']; echo "&lt;pre&gt;"; foreach ($row as $value) { echo $dealer_code . " "; echo $dealer_name . " "; echo $bodyshop_id . " "; echo $bodyshop_name . " "; echo $address1 . " "; echo $address2 . " "; echo $address3 . " "; echo $address4 . " "; echo $address5 . " "; echo $postcode . " "; echo $bo_tel . " "; echo $bo_email . " "; echo $bc_name . " "; echo $equity_contract . " "; echo $value. "&lt;BR&gt;"; fputcsv($outstream, $row, ',', '"'); } echo "&lt;/pre&gt;"; } mysql_close($db_handle); } else { print "Database NOT Found "; mysql_close($db_handle); fclose($outstream); } ?&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COCould you clarify what your output is? I can't work out how you'd ever get anything apart from the postcode in the CSV file.

    2. COAlso, this looks like a really bad database structure. You really should have postcodes in a separate table with a foreign key in the `bodyshops_master_network` table.

    3. COMy output is all the data fields echoed in the foreach loop and the postcodes however, it doesn't put them into separate columns. For example: http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx182/rache_R/Screenshot2013-11-20at090759_zpsf1d90fc5.png.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
